Abstract The Genetics of Kidneys in Diabetes (GoKinD) study is an initiative that aims to
identify genes that are involved in diabetic nephropathy. A large number of individuals with
type 1 diabetes were screened to identify two subsets, one with clear-cut kidney disease and
another with normal renal status despite long-term diabetes. Those who met additional entry
criteria and consented to participate were enrolled. When possible, both parents also were
enrolled to form family trios. As of November 2005, GoKinD included 3075 participants who …
